The Mom Game

July is here! The World Cup is still top of mind and we are STILL scavenging for Travis & Taylor wedding details. Please Taylor, give us SOMETHING! Emily details a very rare trip to Target, we talk adult group trips (who pays for what?), and we also cover a very important topic: mom underwear. We're also wondering: are children growing up too fast? After seeing Toy Story 5, Julie has some refl...

While Lebron James is looking for Complete Happiness with a new team, we are still waiting on complete happiness with Garrett Graham. (IYKYK) But wait, did he send Emily a love note??   In sports news, the World Cup is still awesome AF, LeBron is breaking up with Luka, the Rangers have started winning, the Stars are in a pickle, and Serena Williams came back for a hot second!   Plus: we have more...

TMG homework has been completed! Julie watched Off Campus and ordered from Temu.   Did she live to tell the tale?   Plus, you know how sometimes you don’t know what to do with your (mid) life? Well, Emily started a whole new career and is already winning awards! She opens up about her journey into the insurance industry after twenty-plus years as a broadcaster.   And whose kid fell asleep alone in...

The World Cup is entertaining us in so many ways, and Emily has discovered a new favorite TV show/actor. Off Campus anyone?? What a time to be alive! This week, Julie is straight outta the lake while Emily is having some garage anxiety (is that a thing?). In Sports Skorts, the ladies tackle the NHL and NBA Finals, check in on the Rangers' seemingly endless season of mediocrity, and Julie has a ran...

Who sent us these emotional support dumplings? Why does every baseball tournament for kids need to be called a “World Series?" Can a wedding at MSG be romantic? Why are so many people mad at Texas Tech?  So many questions to attack on this week’s show.   Plus, Trey Hoppe, EVP of Megatel Group joins us to talk about how his team is changing the homebuying game for consumers.   Thanks as always...

It’s Julie’s Dirk Birthday (41), so why not talk through all the moments that make you think “I’m getting old??” Plus, we celebrate all our kids' big wins in sports, so why does nobody celebrate when we keep that kitchen spick and span?! In Sports Skorts, The NBA Finals and the Stanley Cup Final are underway, the Mavs are moving to the mall, and Serena Wiliams is back! Plus, the owners of Cookie S...

Summer is officially HERE and the chaos wasted zero time showing up. Between birthday parties, hotel cheer camps, kids loitering around the house, and Emily stress-cleaning her way through life, the moms are already losing it. This week, we dive into the NBA playoffs as Jalen Brunson and the Knicks keep rolling, the Avalanche are slipping, the Rangers are worse than middling,  and Emily risks it a...

This week on  The Mom Game , we are officially limping toward summer break! We kick things off talking about why Emily is shiny and why we think group chats are everything for surviving mom life. Jkidd is OUT as head coach of the Dallas Mavericks, is this now the full palate cleanse we all needed? Plus- Tech QB Brendan Sorsby and his gambling drama and why Emily can relate! And Dak, what are you d...

This week on  The Mom Game , we are DEEP in the chaos of Maycember and we. Are. Struggling. From school events and sports overload to Mother’s Day spent at kids games and recitals, we’re asking the important question: is it possible that May is actually  more stressful than December?! We also need dads everywhere to learn one simple line: “everything is fine sweetie”. We’ll explain.   In Sports Sk...

It finally happened… Emily got a brain map. This week, Sandra Murcott from Braintopia joins The Mom Game to reveal Emily’s results LIVE and compare the wildly different wiring of two mom brains. Are we functioning at peak performance… or just surviving on cortisol and caffeine? We also dive into Emily’s Arlington staycation adventures, makeup tutorials gone sideways, the cruel realities of aging,...

When moms spot a gap, they build something better. This week, we’re joined by  Hanna Howard, founder of Rematch , a youth sports recording app changing the way families capture game day, and  Amy Adams, founder of DFW Dorms , a service making college move-in seamless (and actually fun). These mom entrepreneurs share how they turned everyday parenting challenges into thriving businesses, and why th...

The Mom Game is coming to you LIVE(ish) from a dog adoption event at Gateway GMC with Dallas Pets Alive! (don’t worry—we still brought wine ). We’re talking 12U baseball bat flips, dancing baseball players, and NFL fallout from the Dianna Russini / Mike Vrabel staycation situation. Plus—it’s playoff hockey time in Texas… let’s go Dallas Stars! Also, Emily drops a surprise IQ test on Julie, and thi...

This week on  The Mom Game , we’re time warping straight out of a dark bar on Masters Sunday (how does that even happen??) and Emily is—once again—keeping her kids humble and embarrassing them per usual. In  Sports Skorts , we break down  the high.. and low points of the Masters… (did somebody say diarrhea ?)  say goodbye to the Mavs season (no tears here) and gear up for playoff hockey as the Sta...

This Week on TMG: We’re recapping Easter weekend, questionable “fake news” (that we accidentally reported) , ADHD cookbooks, and the newfound  magic of Juile’s Harry Potter household. In  Sports Skorts , we take a few swings at the SEC, react to some bizarre Dallas Stars fan behavior, and touch on a Mavs win over a struggling Lakers team without Luka. (and LeBron was spotted  where  in Dallas??)  ...

That moment when you realize you’re doing what you’re meant to be doing—raising little humans and, in this case, watching them pursue their dreams! Amidst all the professional hubbub, Emily recently had a mom epiphany while watching Henry play baseball. It’s all about finding the right work-life balance, right?  Or is it simply about being the best mom you can be and being there for your kids? Doe...

Go TMG... it’s ya birthday...   We're celebrating SIX whole years of this sh**show!  And like al busy moms, we forgot to plan a party for ourselves, so we just settle in and pop the cork on some Coppola wine.   Julie and Emily recap their wildly different spring break adventures, from cold family fun in Broken Bow (with no Sasquatch sightings this time), to a Colorado trip which featured a traumat...

The wheels are coming off QUICK this week, starting with some deep sports psychology talk RIGHT out of the gate, followed by Julie admitting to doing “the worst thing she’s ever done” (it happened this week). Emily breaks some big news in our Sports Skorts segment, plus we gotta talk about the red-hot Dallas Stars. And with Spring Training well underway, the Rangers roster is shaping up to look a...

Last week, we said that if we hit 10K followers on Instagram by the time we filmed this week's show, we'd each wear a costume that the other picked out for us. Well, guess what!? We hit 10K! So naturally, this week's show starts off with quite the costume reveal... get ready to meet Dolly Forbes and Pickle Jones! Two years ago, the Mavs and Stars were both gearing up for a deep playoff run with br...

The Winter Olympics have finally concluded and all we can say is: WOW. So much to reflect on as we still bask in the glow of Team USA's double gold in men's and women's hockey. And who would have thought that the 20-year-old athletes would be schooling all of us with some hardcore wisdom and life perspective? We got a deeper look behind the scenes of what it takes to become an Olympian, and seeing...

Real-life standup comedian (and dad) Jimmy Nelson joins us on this week's show for some laughs and fun conversation! And Julie’s back from Canada and the Winter Olympics are in full swing! How dialed in are we this year? And also, what about that one cheating biathlete??  And why is Joe Judge giving bad life advice? Plus, Emily visits with former Dallas Cowboy Crawford Ker who shares insights on l...

The Super Bowl gave us PLENTY of things to discuss, however the game itself was not one of them (zzz). What did you think of the halftime show? Was Bad Bunny a good bunny? Also, WHY was there so much drama about it? We continue to be invested in the heartbreaking and confusing Nancy Guthrie kidnapping story. Plus, we’re dissecting the latest rumblings from the basketball rumor mill… is Mark Cuban...

The Schmuper Bowl is upon us and we have some important questions to address: Who do we think will win? What will we be eating? Does Emily have a crush on Bad Bunny?

Also, can you picture Emily making a transaction on...

Join us as we all enjoy some cabin fever from the Coppola home studios! Emily has made it out of her extended vacation in Mexico and back to her family in Fort Worth. Julie’s riding out day 5 (or 100?) inside with the kids. As the Texas ice is slowly starting to melt, we are all ready for things to get back to normal. Speaking of Texas ice, the Stars have some last minute magic (meow!). Plus, Luka...

It’s Snowmageddon 2026! Emily’s pulling a Ted Cruz and bailing to Mexico but alas, a sh*t storm of her own is erupting just as she’s trying to leave town. Why is the universe out to get us moms? Can’t we just get a break? No. The answer is no. Plus, we welcome Morgan Debs, owner of House of Skin and Health Dallas to talk all things hormones, menopause, GLP1s, botox,  supplements for adults and chi...
